This time, at a leisurely pace, two sleep stops (4 hours and 5 hours) and made it in 2 1/2 days.
Google auto still really sucks. I ran through 2GB in a few hours streaming podcasts, and had to stop. Screw the cloud. Radios without a tuning knob really suck.

I love and hate long trips like that. it can really go either way depending on a lot of factors.
Honestly giving up physical controls for touchscreens was one of the worst things to happen. It doesn’t apply for cars, but for so many other settings it’s a major inconvenience - especially for those with bad eyesight / visual impairments! But also, you can far more easily feel for a button and keep your eyes on the road…
This is one of the reasons I still keep a selection of CDs from previous eras and I have a CD player in the car.

I MP3'ed my CD collection long ago, and have it on my phone and tablet, but the problem is the touchscreen. If I can't find a USB knob or something like it I may have to make one.
